1T was to give this Western country
the Mississippi was desired as an American
river, and the people of st. Louis do we'll
to jealously guard that great outlet to the
waters of the world. But, gentlemen, with
all the congratulate ions which feel it in
my heart to extend to you, with all the
compliments which your immense growth
calls from every lip. 1 feel that have one
reproach against st. Louis. | feel that L
have one reproach against this great trans
Mississippi republic. A little over eighty
years ago it belonged to foreign power,
and by the narroweSt possible chance it was
kept from falling into the hands of En-
gland; but the watchful care, the great
nerve and courage, the statesmanlke grasp
of Thomas Jefferson, standing between the
embarrassment of France and the aggres-
sive energy of Great Britain. plucked the
whole territory of Louisiana from the am
btion of both, and made it an American
stronghold throughout its borders, and that
vast domain for which Jefferson gave $15,-
600. 900 is now represented in seven great
and prosperous states and three large terri
tories, which, in the course of time, will
add four or five states, possibly, to the
American Union.
''Never was a conquest so great, so
extensive, acquired by peaceful methods.
Never was so great conquest made by.
war that conquering power was able to
hold. Then let me say that my reproaeh to
st. Louis-my reproach to every inhabitant
of the territory of Louisiana-is that ON its
entire surface, which represents third
part of the United States, there is not

John Tyler's Unmarked Grave.

SulCa2O NEWS.
Being at Richmond the other day l vis-
tied the beautiful Hollywood cemetery to
see the grave of President John Tyler,
which l have always heard was unmarked.
The tenth president of the United States IS
buried i'll slightly spot overlooking the
James river and only few rods from the
ornate sepulchre of James Monroe. Beside
him lies the body of his daughter, Julia
Tyler, who died in the seventeenth year of
her age, and a pretty monument stands at
her head, but the mound at her left
is unmarked, and under the turf the bones
of the father are said to be deposited. The
state of Virginia has several times threat
ened to erect monument. and several bills
have been introduced in congress for the
purpose. The family has not. erected a
stone because it is said, it believes the gov

SMALL NOIE INFLA7ION

Looking into the currency problem some
what closely, it is not difficult to find philo-
sophical reason for the monetary embar1ass-
mont which at present exists, and which has
been pronounced the most curious financial
difficulty on record Curious and almost un-
prccedented in character it u.s. ard under any
wisely conducted Government it would have
been impossible. Yet it will possibly surprise
many of the Ncw~York bankers, who have
been appealing to tho Treasury for relief, to
be informed that the scarcity of money at
commercial centres il the direct consc-
qucnce, not of contraction by the Treasury,
but of artificial and deliberate initiation by
the Treasury.
In order to understand the matter, il Is
nccdfu to consider the radically different uses
Of notes OF small and of large denominations.
The former circulate in the pockets OF the
people, in the tils OF shopkeepers, in the
payments of retail trade. They tend to affect
retail prices more than larger bills OF equal
amount in case of excessive imitation making
demand for themselves, so to speak, by
lifting retail prices. Having thus made a
real need in retail trade for $50 where $50
suiiiccd before, tho new amount is held in
circulation as surely. while that state OF prices
continues, as if the amount had not been un-
duly expanded. Thus these notes do not
readily 90 back TO centres Of wholesale trade,
both because they are inconvenient in such
operations, and because the people find use
for them.
But the large bills in which wholesale pay
mcnts and the chief operations Of commerce
are made and of which bank reserves against
deposits and international demands are com
posed, naturally go back TO commercial centres
when they have performed their service in
payment. Hence there is natural proportion
between the amounts Of the different kinds OF
notes required. which is determined by the
customary nature of business in any country.
II that customary proportion is disturbed, II
too large share Of the circulation is in large
bills, then an unsb mfortablc scarcity of small
notes is felt in slowncss of retail trade and de-
preston Of retail prices, while the abundance
of larger notes stimulates wholesale transac-

THE State COMMITTEES WORK.

The new Republican State Committee may
well read the records of its immediate prede-
cessors and see if something highly important
was not lacking in the measures adopted to
carry the State of New-York. 1t takes all
sorts of influences to win state; n gooo
nartv record, good platform and
nominations, an excellent organization ao'c
newspaper support-and strong and apuhdah'
speech-making.
Have the Republicans of New-York heard
MANY Republican speeches the past seven
wears? The Republicans Of some OF the great
cities, Newly ork, Brooklyn and Buffalo, have
heard few. and from some of the ablest men
in the Republican party. But what have inc
various State Committees done for the he
npbIican voters of rural NcwYork, who poll
four-ffths of the Republican votcP Have
Republican speakers been sent to them have
they heard through Republican speakers OF
the patriotic, honest and able work done fof
the people by the Republican legislators AT
Washington and at Albany? Have they known
what the Republican party intended TO 40
entrusted again with political power? las
ANYTHING been done to interest them IN the
good or i'll fortune of the Republican party
and its candidates for Officer
Every one who lives in the interior oil the
State knows that all these questions must DC
answered in the negative. Apparently ouf
State Committees have thought that they
could safely neglect this method OF bringing
Republican voters to the polls. Whle ONO,
wisconsin. Illinois, Massachusetts,, indeed all
the other Republican States, were ringing
with Republican speeches there was silence IN
New-York. The election returns later showed
which method was the best. The Newly ork
method was not that by which the Repubiican
partv came into existence in New-lork State,
grew in strength and finally came into power
by electing Edwin ID. Morgan as Governor
Nor was it the method by which it carried the
State after Mr. Morgans election. glance
at The TRIBUNE of the period from 1860 to
1850 in the fall months will reveal to the
reader columns of notices and advertisements
Of Republican political meetings in the interior
Of the State. The smallest village apparently
had its Republican mass meeting and Rcpun-
ican speeches every fall.
Is it not reasonable TO suppose that the IN
crease of the vote Of the Prohibition party In
this State is due not so much to spontaneous
regard for its principles as to the speeches.
made before the rural voters by the Prohioi-
lion oratorss In Buffalo letter printed on
another page of THE TRIBUNE it Will be
seen that the Prohibition party is going to do
the same thorough work among the rural
voters this year as it has done in the past.
Their leader says that the Republicans Will
have "to face the voters Of the State in the
same manner as we are doing if they intend to
hold the Republican vote" This point Is
worth the serious consideration Of the Com
mittec.
